Happy Father's Day!

It's not easy living with me, just ask Lyle... no wait. Don't. But my parents suffered first and earliest (and to my siblings reading this, shut up). I have great love of making those around me suffer for my own enjoyment. I like to think they are enjoying themselves as well but I really do amuse myself more than anyone else I know. My mom seemed to get this and suffer willingly. My dad on the other hand has taken his own sweet time getting used to me. I love making him have his picture taken. And you know what they say about a tough audience? Well once you can get my dad to smile and play along you know you've made it.
VIKINGS!

When I was growing up (not done yet) every year we would take a family vacation for two weeks. Twice we drove to Disneyland in Southern California. On both trips we stopped at the Andersen Pea Soup factory/restaurant along I-5. On the way there. On the way back. That's four trips to Andersen Pea Soup land. We'd stop there for lunch and no matter what you ordered you also got as a starter a large bowl of split pea soup. YUCK.

But my dad loved pea soup and ate his happily. Then he ate my sisters bowl. Then he ate my brother's bowl. Having survived cafeteria rules that wouldn't let you go out to recess unless you ate all your lunch, I begged him to eat mine as well which he did. Then the waitress came back and picked up the empty bowls in front of each child.

"Wow, you really cleaned your bowl! Would you like some more?"
No, thank you.
"Would you like some more?"
No, thank you.
"Would you like some more?"
No, thank you.

And then she came to my dad with his fourth bowl of soup in front of him only half finished.
"Aw, you didn't like the soup? Looks like someone could take a lesson from his children."

This picture was taken a few years later at the Andersen Pea Soup restaurant/factory along Highway 101. It's nice to have a friend to play with!

Wodka Party

I know it seems like I've been drinking a lot. Honestly I haven't. But a blog post about watching TV is just not me. I want to share with you when I leave the house and not just my last trip to Trader Joe's (I bought milk, bread, bacon and Ahi tuna). Friday night we left the house to attend a party. A vodka party. A $500 a bottle vodka party. The invite said the party started at 6:30 and we arrived at 6:33.I'm having a hard time finding much info on this vodka. Marani vodka made in Armenia. The bottle boasts "vodka with sodium bicarbonate, acetic acid, honey & skimmed dry milk." Oh, and that it is 80 proof. I think this vodka was substituted later as the the invite said the $500 vodka was supposed to be Rodnik Vodka. Oh my god, what if I was duped into thinking I was getting hammered on expensive vodka only to loose in a blind taste test?

We decide that it would behoove us to try it on the rocks without any mixer muddling the taste. Auspicious evening indeed. Over the course of the evening I would try it plain with a squeeze of lime (very nice), with a splash of pineapple (gave it a bite it didn't have before), with an energy drink (sickeningly sweet) and with cranberry (hands down everyone's favorite).

The shindig was held in the upstairs VIP room at Beso, a new restaurant in Hollywood that is owned by Eva Longoria and Todd English. I've been here once before in officially opened and I have to state that I am still in love with these red croc stamp pillows on the sofas upstairs. I swear next time I am bringing in some black leather straps, hooking them on to a pillow and walking out the front door with my new enormous handbag. I MUST POSSES THEM.

Lyle is obsessed with the mirror framed mirrors. Though the decor upstairs could be perceived as a little on the bordello side, I find the balance between sleek and tasteful with sexy textures thrown in to be very pleasing.

Luke and I show off the red croc pillow nicely.

One of our hosts and his sister work the pole like they've had thousands of dollars worth of vodka...

Octavio holds a best chest competition in the back corner.

The party officially ended at 9:30. We were home by 9:40. Lyle forgot his regular glasses for the drive home so he had to wear his prescription sunglasses. Oh my god, I was riding home with Corey Hart wearing his sunglasses at night!

OMG its ONJ!!!

Olivia Newton John was the big headliner for Sunday night at West Hollywood Gay Pride. I told everyone that if she didn't perform Xanadu there would be riot. Smart girl, she opened with it.


She sang the theme song from the movie (and upcoming television series) Sordid Lives.
Me and Beth Grant from Sordid Lives



This is the promo from the upcoming TV series:


Olivia Neutron Bomb closed with an acapella version of Let me Be There but by then my camera was stone cold dead (as was my phone). Lesson learned, I need new electronics. But before it all went dark, she did a couple of songs from Grease and encouraged one on the biggest gayest sing-alongs I have ever witnessed.


Of course a Grease Medley totally made us:
Hopelessly devoted!
